At 6’3″ and 230 lbs., is the Penn quarterback Alek Torgersen. Torgersen flashes big time potential with a solid arm and NFL size.

Adding brains to brawn is necessary for a quarterback to succeed in the NFL. Torgersen attending an Ivy League school and starring as their quarterback bodes well for his draft profile.

Although going to an Ivy League school doesn’t guarantee he will be a quality player in the NFL, just ask Ryan Fitzpatrick. Torgersen has all of the skills and physical attributes to develop nicely behind two-time Super Bowl winning quarterback Eli Manning.

The New York Giants are currently on the lookout for Eli’s replacement, and Torgersen could be selected in the later rounds as a developmental investment.
